Show NURSE'S AIDES ROLLS CLOSING This is the final week for enroll¬ment in the May class of Red Cross nurse's aides, it was pointed out by office staff members. The classes, needing women be¬tween the ages of 18 and 50 who are free to devote their best ef¬forts to the enterprise during the six weeks' three-hour-daily train¬ing period and a succeeding 150 hours of volunteer work, must be filled by the end of this week. Kent S. Bramwell, first aid director for the Red Cross chapter in Weber county, said persons who have taken first aid training will find the nurse's aide work com¬paratively easy, a statement in which Mrs. L. G. Diehl, chairman of nurse's aides, concurred. "If the threatened registration of women for selective service goes through, this may be the last class in which volunteers may register for the training," Mrs. Diehl said. "After the 'draft' of women goes into effect, only those selected by the government can do this clean, easy and thoroughly necessary work."
